DESCRIPTION:Music’s communicativeness is often associated with its appro
 priateness for therapy. We investigate one aspect of communication – sha
 red understanding – in the context of music therapy. To what extent do m
 usic therapists and music therapy attendees share understanding of what ju
 st happened in their music therapy interaction\, and do they as participan
 ts share privileged understanding relative to observers? From comments and
  ratings about four 30-minute sessions\, observers—but not session parti
 cipants—agreed more than chance\, as did participating and commenting mu
 sic therapists\, but agreement was low. Music therapists did not agree mor
 e about music-therapist-authored characterizations than about characteriza
 tions by non-experts. Our findings provide little evidence of privileged u
 nderstanding between participants or that greater expertise leads to great
 er shared understanding.
